I am a photographer I have a thing for
photographers we were both a little bit
teetering on hangry I was not hungry I
wanted to drink hi my name is Julian and
I am 36 years old my name is Ashley and
I'm 27 I am a photographer and
videographer
I reckon post-production grew up outside
of DC and Takoma Park Maryland I grew up
in Northern Virginia I have been single
for about a year and a half I have been
single for 45 days I don't go on dates
very often once twice a week I am single
because I ended my previous relationship
I put my heart and soul into a
relationship that did not work out we
matched on edge and then she roped me
into this I like the picture of him we
said because I like children definitely
rolling in the sand with the dub
definitely I am a thing for
photographers I have dated a lot of them
I don't really have a type I would say
human I prefer older I don't really set
the age range I think I just set it on
the distance but not above 40 I think my
exes would say that I am captivating
that I am a very thoughtful person and I
care about people and hard to keep hold
of I love everyone really quickly
you mean romantically correct five snow
probably like six maybe seven more than
I want to admit oh yeah yeah
you don't around with the album my
last relationship ended because I wasn't
ready to start a family and she was it
wasn't working any longer you got to
know yourself in order to be a part of a
couple we had tried for almost a year
and just wasn't working she is going to
be happier with somebody who can give
her what she wants that's why I'm here
never cheated not once yes never
will not that I am aware of in college
with the girlfriend that I'm just like
thrilled she cheated on me with that's
great
she was the worst my mother always tells
me I look like Nelly Furtado the
Unabomber you know if I throw some
aviators on it it's kind of up there
that is very difficult I don't know any
of them its a mix between Hugh Jackman
and Kit Harington probably Lady gaga
after seeing her at the mikela if I want
to be sexy you'll know by how I'm
looking at you it's my fluffer dick pics

well keep your dick to yourself

so we met outside of the glamour offices
downstairs I ran out of this studio as
quick as I could
because we relate to the date we were
both a little bit teetering on hangry I
was not hungry I wanted a drink it was
like hi how are you let's eat I want to
say within five minutes we were in a cab
ride holy she's way out of my
league and beautiful oh he seems nice
the cab was a lot of fun it was good it
was maybe a little awkward at first but
conversation was easy I asked if I could
take her picture cuz the light was
looking good in the cab ride he pulls
out his camera and says can I take your
picture and I told him I really
preferred not to have my picture taken I
think I got an okay one it continued
happening throughout the night she
picked the place gallo green the mid
Catterick Hotel I have no idea where we
went he had really kind eyes her eyes
which are nice yeah it's the one that's
really funny with curly hair he kind of
reminded me a Seth Rogen nobody that
comes to mind
pretty unique look I would say I was not
physically attracted to my date yes
absolutely he had a beautiful
personality and a really great way of
connecting with anybody and everyone in
the room authenticity on the surface I
would say instead of sexy she just came
off as more beautiful I didn't really
find him sexy but there were other
beautiful things about his personality
so we get to the restaurant which is at
the top of this hotel take the elevator
up and he's very chatty with everyone in
the elevator which is really cool first
thing we order shots of tequila -
chilled tequila shots but they don't
have shot glasses they just have whiskey
tumblers so it was about two shots of
tequila each drink that while we discuss
food and life and picture-taking she
chose the pizza which just was awesome
pizza was so good it had like a bunch of
stuff on it I still don't know
oh he ordered a fries as well it's a
variant
Frye's I'm half Belgian so I always need
to try the French fries everywhere
fries are neither here or there for me
civic duty I asked her if she liked
whiskey she said yes and he orders some
more drinks I ordered two old fashions
whiskey sours which was perfect so it's
just straight liquor now after that we
went to sit by the fire and we continued
chatting there you know we talked about
real stuff oh he was full of questions I
really appreciated that
throughout this entire thing he is still
taking my picture sometimes I think we
had one more do we have a third I think
he order is another whiskey sour to
share we just split the last drink so
now I'm two tequilas
two whiskey two and a half whiskey sours
deep yeah and then we just took a cab to
Brooklyn we took a left back dropped her
off and then I got dropped off I think
the actual goodbye was getting out of
the cab and just waiting there was a hug
I don't think there was a hug just a
good friendly hug no there was no kiss
at the end of the date oh absolutely no
no if they're not feeling it neither
should you for me the best part of the
date was the conversation on the ride
home in the cab ride back to Brooklyn I
think by that time I had eased out of
being nervous and felt like I was
talking to a really good friend when I
told her that she was authentic and I
found that to be the most attractive
part about her she covered her face oh
he told you I put my hands on my hey yes
I do that a lot when I am being
complimented no I was not hungover the
following day yes I was hungover the
next day his perspective on life he had
a way of looking at things in a very
creative joyful way she knows herself
and knowing oneself is a really
attractive feature I liked all of our
conversations now everything that we
talked about was exactly what I'd like
to talk about on the first date I just
wish he hadn't taken my picture so much
I laughed a lot I definitely think I
laughed the most
she probably smiled more but I think I
might have giggled more I definitely
think he enjoyed that
the most well I had a blast but
I enjoyed every moment as well I really
appreciated his humor and the way he
looked at things her personality I would
not see myself going on a second date
with Julian if she liked to 100% yes but
I wouldn't be opposed to hanging out one
day it's just friends we texted a bit he
sent me a lot of text messages and all
of the photos he took I sent the photos
that we took well I didn't really
appreciate having my picture taken so
often the photos came up amazing and
really made me feel beautiful a cordial
follow-up of hey I had a really nice
time thanks for a great night he told me
a lot of really kind words I am so glad
I went on this date absolutely I'm happy
I made a new friend
five four we had a four in common I
guess to a 5:1 we're as compatible as
she wants us to be one oh I had a
blast that's a 5-4 again that is
all up to her one Julian if you're
watching this
Ashley when you're watching this I had a
really great night with you I want you
to know I had a great time I appreciate
you being very respectful and kind nice
I think you're awesome and I hope that
we can become friends after this no
matter what happens you definitely have
a friend here let him run with an idea
be nice he says we should go
here and we should talk to this person
let it happen because it's gonna be a
magical who would have guessed

nice day
